Tangram Mall Restaurants: Vietnamese Food at Nón Lá Express, Stall FH17
Looking for restaurants at Tangram Mall in Flushing? Tangram’s food hall packs a lot of different cuisines into one floor, and it’s easy to walk a full lap before deciding. This guide covers how the food hall works, where to find Nón Lá Express inside it, and what to order when you want a proper Vietnamese meal without leaving the building.
Where to Eat at Tangram Mall in Flushing
Tangram is the mixed-use complex at 133-33 39th Avenue in Downtown Flushing. Most of its food lives in the food hall on the second floor, where a row of independent stalls share the seating.
The mix is broad. NYC Tourism’s guide to the Tangram food hall lists everything from banh mi, rice balls and dim sum to corn dogs, birria tacos and Hong Kong-style egg tarts. The lineup changes over time, so the best plan is to arrive hungry and take a look around.
If you want a full, hot meal rather than a snack, though, the Vietnamese kitchen at stall FH17 is the one to know.
Finding Nón Lá Express Inside Tangram
Nón Lá Express is at stall FH17 in the Tangram food hall. Look for the red neon nón lá — the Vietnamese conical hat — glowing on the back wall, and the hand-drawn pig, chicken and cow murals (lợn, gà, bò) along the dining area.
Ordering is quick. You order at the kiosk by the entrance, then collect your food at the pick-up counter. There’s banquette, table and counter seating right at the stall, so you can sit down with your bowl of pho without hunting for a free table across the hall.
What to Order at Our Tangram Food Hall Stall
The menu is short and focused on Vietnamese food done properly — fast, but never cutting corners.
Phở: five different bowls
Phở is the reason most people come. There are five bowls, from the clean Fresh Phoenix Chicken Pho to the Rare Eye Round Beef Pho and the fully loaded Phở Special, plus Pho & Grilled and a chili-forward Spicy Pho. Not sure which to pick? Our guide to the best pho in Flushing walks through every bowl.
Rice plates and vermicelli bowls
For something heartier than soup, the rice plates are the move: wok-seared Shaking Beef Rice (bò lúc lắc), Lemongrass Beef Rice, Pork Chop Rice and Smoked Paprika Chicken Rice. The Rice Vermicelli Bowl is the lighter option — cool noodles with fresh herbs and pickles. Read more in our guide to Vietnamese rice plates in Flushing.
Vietnamese burgers
Two burgers bring Vietnamese flavors to a familiar format: the Lemongrass Pork Tenderloin Burger and the Smoked Paprika Chicken Burger.
Appetizers to share
Crispy spring rolls with nuoc cham, fresh summer rolls with peanut dip, lemongrass chicken wings and a Vietnamese salad with ginger dressing. Any of them works as a starter or a quick snack while you shop.
Vietnamese drinks
Finish with a phin-brewed Vietnamese iced coffee, a salted limeade, a Thai green milk tea or, when it’s in season, fresh sugarcane juice. Here’s our full guide to cà phê sữa đá and Vietnamese drinks.
